This critical review will focus on physical inactivity as a morbility and mortality risk factor by assessing its effects on the five major non-communicable diseases (coronary heart diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, breast and colon cancer) and by analysing its economic consequences, to conclude calling for physical activity promotion from a multi-sectorial and multidisciplinary perspective and suggesting a promising strategy to reduce physical inactivity based on breaking up prolonged sitting time. %K Inactividad Física %K Problema Multisectorial y Multidisciplinar %K Implicación Económica %K Ejercicio Físico %K Physical Inactivity %K Multi-Sectorial and Multidisciplinary Problem %K Economic Implications %K Exercise %K Medicina %K Medicine %K Enfermería %K Nursery %K Fisioterapia %K Physical therapy %K Deportes %K Sports %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
